About this listen

Host Troy Burtch from Great Lakes Brewery sits down with Emma Hambrock, Inside Sales Representative and long-time team member at Fairweather Brewing in Hamilton, Ontario. Since Fairweather opened its doors in 2017, Emma has been at the heart of the brewery, helping shape its welcoming taproom, community-driven culture, and creative beer lineup.

In this episode, Emma shares her journey into the craft beer world - from her early days at Silversmith Brewery to helping build Fairweather from the ground up (literally, with her handprints in the concrete). She and Troy chat about the Hamilton beer scene, the art of creating memorable beer experiences, and the people behind Fairweather’s signature beers like High Grade, Donna, and Wishing Well.

Expect laughs, behind-the-scenes stories, and plenty of craft beer love as they dive into what makes Fairweather Brewing one of Hamilton's most beloved breweries.

Highlights include:

  • How Emma found her way into the beer industry
  • The origin and evolution of Fairweather Brewing
  • Building a strong brewery culture and community in Hamilton
  • Insights on beer education, design, and storytelling in craft brewing
